Does Anyone Shop on EBay?

Question....can you explain the dollar amounts on the right side? The big number is the "retail"? And the smaller number is the "bid"?

I think it's the bid and the shipping price. Bid first, shipping price second. Once you click on the link you can see the what the bid is up to clearly then scroll down in the description and you will find the details.

I have bought tons of sports memorabilia when I redecorated my sons room....and I just bought a game my girls want for Christmas called Dream Life.. Cant? find it anywhere in stores but it?s on Ebay. I have seriously considered selling on Ebay but have not found the time to learn how.

COS, if you can navigate Sowal you can sell on Ebay. All you need are digital pictures. Ebay makes it so easy now...they even do all the resizing. Just click sell an item and you are off and running. I use USPS Priority shipping. ( Hubby works for USPS) Most clothing itmes will ship for less than $5 so I charge $7-8 to ship single items and more for heavier or multiple items.

Ocean Lover, if you put it like that, then it has to be easy! SoWal sure is, even for a computer nincompoop like me. I have tons of stuff around the house that I'd love to not have anymore. My son's home from college as of today and he's gotten pretty good at selling his computer goodies on EBay, so I think I will ask him to walk his old mother through the process.

Just remember...timing is everything. Ebay slows down after Christmas and people aren't looking/buying as much. But you could try it out. I always list my daughter's dance costumes at the beginning of October for Halloween costumes. I don't think they'd sell at other times of the year. Fancy dress clothes sell in November and early December for Cmas and March for Easter. Just think about the seasons and holidays with clothes and items and you'll do fine.

I've used it lots of times. Right now I'm bidding on Bare Escentuals face powder that cost about $20 at Sephora, and half that on EBay. If I'm the high bidder. ;-) A friend of mine collects historical clothing and one day when we were out in the yard talking, she dashed inside saying "I gotta go! I'm in a bidding war for a corset!" My son is always building computers for himself, and he sells his old ones on EBay and rolls the profit into his new ones.

Oh, I know I should keep reading before I ask, but did you win? I shop on eBay all the time and sell like crazy too!
P.S. I'm home!
